GM goes green with hybrid Hummer

Washington, DC - If you can't beat 'em, join 'em: General Motors is launching an electric Hummer claimed to produce near-zero emissions.

Demonstrated to members of Congress yesterday, the Electric Hummer was developed by Raser Technologies and FEV in cooperation with General Motors' Hummer division, and is aimed at that hard-to-please segment of the market that wants to pretend they are in a tank but still think of themselves as nice people.

The GM-owned Hummer joined forces with Raser Technologies 15 months ago to create a green vehicle with a whopping 600 pounds of lithium-ion battery packs.
Still resembling the typical indestructible look of a Hummer, the new model can travel 40 miles in all-electric mode before requiring a boost.

The vehicle was developed in association with the Plug-in Hybrid Development Consortium, co-founded by Raser along with leading electric utilities, lithium ion battery companies and other automotive technology companies.
